vernier scan with double-gaussian effective fit.
I've had a lot of trouble stabilizing the fit with the two-gaussian beam profile (narrow gaussian + wide gaussian), so I've moved to something simpler - assuming a two-gaussian vernier scan p

readiness of SL09g for W-production (1)
Preparation for W-production in December 8, 2009
A single daq file from every run used for pp500 W analysis was produced with the chain:
2009.12.08 Low EM timing study: 10KeV vs. 100KeV cut settings
Conclusions/dicsussion at the emc2 hypernew:

Upsilon Efficiency versus eta-phi for electron daughter
Upsilon 1S+2S+3S used, weighted with:
(TMath::Gaus(upsRap)*upsPt/(exp(upsPt/2.2)+1)
I did not use just |UpsRap|<=0.5 to increase statistics

Does Fine Tuning GEANT Offer A Compromise?
At the last spin meeting, the 10 keV thresholds defined by LOW_EM were questioned.
32 and 64 bits, tricks and tips
This is a collection of issues for SL5, 64bit kernels with 32 & 64 bits code support.
Quick PyROOT tests
The ROOT web site has a page How to use Use the Python PyROOT Interpreter, a good start for users of PyROOT.
Two issues w/ respect to simulation readiness
There are two issues being discussed within several groups (emc, phana, W) which may impact our readiness to run simulations for y2009.
